Cuaba Salomones

rzaman

Cuaba Salomones- 7 1/4 X 57. Is one of the mild-medium Cuban cigar with tons of flavor. Perfect construction with very smooth wonderful subtle draw. Started with strong milk chocolate overtone and hints of nutmeg, cloves aroma through the nose. 1/4 mark, delivers very balanced with mild spice, woody aroma and ends with aromatic sweetness. 2/4 mark, slightly tight draw with strong fruity aroma. However, it does't ruin the experience though. 3/4 mark, the cigar open up with distintive nutty and earthy flavor. While all these flavors movs around I can feel the strong flowery and fruity aroma on the tip of my tongue. This is a strange cigar where I am unable to differentiate the coca and chocolate flavor at this stage. This is a mild-meduim but very complex cigar. The aftertaste during each simply blow my tastes bud. I would say this cigar dance with different flavor profile with rich smoothness. This is a long smoke but very pleasant experience. I do not believe this cigar needs any further aging. I know very little about the fillers. All I know that they are from Vuelta Abajo region. This is a unique Cuban like no other. Cuba has three speciality niche brands, San Cristobal de La Habana, Trinidad and Cuaba. These brands were developed during 90s but released somewhere around 2000-2003.

I've never had a good Cuaba, but good to see you enjoyed it. I love the idea of an all figurado line.

I have only had 2 Cuabas and they were awesome. The first one I had in 2006 I think and the second was in 2008 and when I had the second one I remember thinking to myself "Ahh, I remember this cigar".

Pretty much what I was thinking. Never had any luck with them myself, but I've also never had the Salomones.

I had a Distinguidos about 2 years ago and thought it was pretty good. Got a few more dated 09. Maybe about time to light up another.

Rzaman, that was a really great read and sounds great brother!! I've yet to smoke a salomones vitola yet but was captivated by your description, the flavor explanation was spot on and gave a great sense of what to expect and when! Seems like you have not only quite the developed palate but also quite the developed humidor stash as well! Congrats and thanks again!! PM to you!
